What are the BEST exercises to tone my butt and back of thighs?
Q: No matter WHAT I do, I can never seem to work off the fat on the back of my thighs, or my butt. What are the bext exercises for this? I recently got an at-home weight set where you can adjust the bench and lay flat on your stomach and curl the weights up behind you with your legs, is that a good one?
A: You can’t do isolation exercises for fat loss. Isolation exercises will definitely work those specific muscles, but you can’t target fat loss. The body loses fat all over, not just in one place. Oh, and another misconception is turning fat into muscle. I have to laugh every time I see that one because they are two different cell types.
The fastest way to lose fat is to build muscle with strength training. You should be doing sets of reps and the weight should be high enough so that it’s very difficult to finish the last rep. After these intense workouts, while the muscle is repairing itself, it’s burning that stored fat. Click here for free leg exercises that you can do with resistance bands. You’ll be able to do more with them then a bench.
Also, if you want FAST fat loss on your legs, don’t just workout your legs. You want complete, total body workouts. Don’t ignore the rest of your body. The more muscle you build, the faster the fat will melt off. You can’t do total body workouts with a bench. Get yourself a set of Bodylastics resistance bands.
